The PS5 Pro specs leaked months ago, pointing to faster system memory for the console upgrade

The PS5 Pro is all but confirmed, though a leak from months ago has already given us an idea of what’s inside the beefed-up console.Months before Sony announced today’s fancy PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation hosted by console architect Mark Cerny, The Verge got its hands on official documents outlining the PS5 Pro’s specs which gives us a slightly early window into the upcoming console.The PS5 Pro’s GPU is said to be “about 45 percent faster than standard PlayStation 5,” according to documents seen by The Verge, which should help to enable ray traced lighting in more games while keeping framerates stable.Meanwhile, the CPU is expected to be the same as the standard console, but a new mode supposedly has it running higher. “Trinity [the codename for the PS5 Pro] has a mode that targets 3.85GHz CPU frequency,” the document reportedly explains. That’s about a 10% upgrade from the regular PS5’s 3.5GHz, and the higher mode will only result in “roughly 1 percent lower performance.” Sony …

Where to find all eight Bot of War ravens in Astro Bot

It’s official: “Concord servers are now offline,” just 2 weeks after one of the worst launches in recent memory

Well, it’s official, folks: Concord is gone. The hero shooter FPS launched just two weeks ago to the day, but after poor sales and lukewarm reception, PlayStation halted sales, refunded all copies, and now it’s pulled the game offline entirely.After an eye-watering eight years in development, Concord’s abrupt and shocking cancellation makes it a stronger contender for the worst launch of 2024, and arguably one of the poorest performances of any online game of the last decade or so. I can only think of a few off the top of my head whose launch states and shutdowns overshadowed the game itself to such an overwhelming degree. Anthem, maybe? But at least EA and BioWare tried salvaging that with post-release content and then a switch to seasonal updates before ultimately cancelling all future content two years after its launch. Somewhat similarly, in 2015 Turtle Rock took a lot of heat for Evolve’s infamous 44 DLC packs and the general development direction at launch, but it still stum…

Is God of War Ragnarok on PS4?

Both God War Ragnarok and Valhalla expansion are on PS4 and PS5 alike, a surprising accommodation given that the PlayStation 4 is now pretty firmly in the “last-gen”, and Ragnarok likes pushing hardware to its limits.

It’s important to note that if you own a PS4 disc copy of God of War Ragnarok, you can only upgrade if you also have a PS5 with a disc drive as well, as the upgrade process requires you to insert the PS4…
